5/3/2023

Comments

 
If there's one thing you should know about Ubud, it's that you'll find PLENTY of incredible spots to eat. From fancier restaurants to small cafes, exploring Ubud is like getting dropped into a watering hole where all the cute cafes have come to gather. After spending nearly a week there in our recent visit to Bali, we went ahead and gathered all our favorite spots we found to eat (and even some to avoid). We hope that this list will save you some time and help you find the best places to eat while exploring Ubud, places that won't make your stomach feel funny. Read on for our 15 best places to eat in Ubud!

Our Essential Travel Resources :
​There are a lot of travel companies out there, but some are better than others. These are our favorite websites and resources to help you plan an incredible trip.

For flights, we recommend using WayAway or Hopper to compare the cheapest dates to travel to your destination.

Car rentals comparisons are best through Discover Cars - just make sure to bring your international driver's permit with you if you're heading somewhere international!

We always use AGODA for hotels. They have an easy-to-use platform where you can compare the best rates.

To keep cell phone service if you're traveling internationally, we always use Airalo’s easy to purchase eSIM’s (no installation required).


For fun things to do, we always recommend Viator to find the best tours in the area, otherwise Klook also does the trick, especially for tours in Asia.

Just in case, Safetywing is the insurance I always use for travel insurance.

Lastly, my packing list for your international or domestic travels.

Pukako Panini & Coffee - to say this was our favorite spot might be an understatement, with it's proximity to our Airbnb we stopped here multiple times. we loved their chicken cordon bleu, avocado panini with chicken, culture shock juice (strawberry and banana), smoothie bowl, bacon & egg toast...really anything on their menu is fantastic!

Ikigai - located right next door to Pukako Panini and Coffee, this sushi spot is one of the busiest restaurants in Ubud for dinner, we splurged here getting a fried tofu appetizer and 4 rolls of sushi - and there was nothing left on our plates by the end

Tropical, an International Restaurant - located right on the edge of one of many arts and crafts markets in town, we stopped here not really expecting much, however, their "american brekkie" and fresh juices and smoothies were delicious!

Pho Sarabong & Yoora Kimbap - two restaurants in one, we stopped here for the kimbap! (although the pho looked amazing too!) - we loved their "original kimbap," which although it was quite different than kimbap in the traditional sense, was delicious!

Cool Monkey Frozen Yogurt - we found this spot on our walk to the Monkey Forest Ubud, and although there are endless possibilities we recommend the mango self serve ;)

Acai Queen - an incredible acai smoothie bowl spot, that serves a huge amount of fresh fruit on top of their acai! in addition to having some of the cutest smoothie bowls, they also have a cute cafe with swings!
Picture

​Kinta Ramen - a delicious ramen house! what more do I need to say ;)
Picture
Picture
Malditos - a hidden gem that was surprisingly not too busy, we actually loved it though! with warm, fresh churros, ice cream, and fruit flavoring on the bottom this became one of our favorite after dinner treats!

Satria Agrowisata 2 - ok so this is definitely not a restaurant, or a cafe, however if you're looking to try the infamous poop coffee (luwak coffee) that is nicknamed the most expensive coffee in the world, then we recommend stopping here! it's a little out of town but for no cost at all you can try an entire array of teas and coffees! (the luwak coffee itself is not included, but can be purchased for 50,000 IDR if you're up for trying it!)

Warung Siam - a fantastic thai food spot that is ALWAYS busy, seriously, every time we walked by the restaurant was entirely full, typically with some people waiting outside. we got the thai milk tea (incredible), tofu & veggies with rice, and the pad thai - all of which were delicious!
Picture

​Oops Ubud - an ice cream place this is also typically very busy, you can find this spot on the main road in town if you're looking to stop for a sweet treat
Picture

​Ubud Kitchen Juice Bar - my favorite smoothie bowl spot in town, their smoothie bowls are completely customizable with large portions, plus each smoothie bowl comes out in a hear shaped bowl!
Picture
Picture
Daily Baguette - we found this spot on our last morning in Ubud, with fresh baked goods, sandwiches, bagels, and sweets, we wish we would have found it sooner!
Picture
Picture
Cooking Class - another stop that is not a restaurant or cafe, however an experience we highly recommend if you're looking to try some delicious local food! We went through this exact cooking class, and had such a fun time making about 10 traditional Balinese dishes!

Other Places to Try - obviously there are too many places in Ubud to try them all, some places we're saving for next time include the Taco Cartel, The Blue Door, and Watercress - all of which looked great!

​​The Spell Creperie - this is one stop we recommend avoiding - we stopped for their banana chocolate crepe and it really wan't impressive
